Thanks for the lists. Outside this mailing list thread, I have received 
information that cloud/x86_64/openstack-juno and virt/x86_64/xen-44 can 
be archived and not copied over to 6.10. The respective centos-release-* 
packages will also be removed from extras. I think we've now gathered 
enough information about SIG content for this release cycle.

Note that a similar process is likely to happen for the next point 
releases as well. So when RHEL 7.6 gets released, SIGs should have a 
look at the packages they ship and inform us which packages are still 
supported and which ones should be dropped. Doing this within around a 
week of RHEL's point release would give us sufficient time to arrange 
for the SIG bits to be included in the respective CentOS 7.6.19xx point 
release.

Thanks!
